Selling a surfboard in Southend-on-Sea
Commuter households move between here and the capital constantly, and the seasonal tourism trade turns over guesthouse and rental furnishings. The college and university campus adds an annual student cycle. It is also one of the things that moves most reliably here, so there is a local audience for it already.
The seafront and the two stations are the landmarks everyone uses and the trains to the capital make small handovers easy. Seafront parking is difficult through the summer and straightforward outside it.
